In embedded systems, structs can provide an elegant, intuitive, and efficient way of accessing hardware registers. The latter property of structs is the foundation of the Cortex Microcontroller ...
In the last lesson, you learned about polymorphism and saw how it works in C++. In today’s video lesson #32, you will emulate the C++ VPTR-VTABLE design in C. The primary goal is understanding how ...
Good tips. C++ is great for embedded code. And now, let the C++ and C hate begin. If you don’t know where to start, you can start telling how horrible pointers are for example.
More and more devices run on embedded systems, a combo of hardware and software designed for a specific purpose.
Rust is a promising replacement for C and C++, particularly for systems-level programming, infrastructure projects, embedded software development, and more -- but not everywhere and not in all ...
Most embedded programming is done in C and C++. Many languages are used for embedded applications, from Java to Lua, but C dominates. C’s popularity is no surprise.
C++ covers the whole programming range, from low level to high, making it ideally suited for writing portable software. Code portability is often neglected in embedded-systems engineering, however.
The C language has been a programming staple for decades. Here’s how it stacks up against C++, Java, C#, Go, Rust, Python, and the newest kid on the block—Carbon.
Apple is the latest tech giant to highlight security problems with C/C++ code in operating systems. The company is addressing memory safety in XNU, the kernel for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and more.
“C++ is heavily used in embedded systems, game development and financial trading software, just to name a few domains,” Jansen wrote. C++ was first released in 1985 as an extension of C.
